It is distinguished from a normal Sharingan by its appearance, which changes the form of the [[tomoe]] seal. Unlike the Sharingan, the appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan differs from user to user with all known wielders of the dōjutsu having eyes that resemble variations of [[Wikipedia:Pinwheel (toy)|pinwheels]].

Madara and Sasuke were able to evolve their Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan into the [[Rinnegan]]. Madara did so after implanting the DNA of [[Hashirama Senju]] into himself, though the dōjutsu only awakened years after the implant.<ref>Chapter 606, page 12</ref> Sasuke awakened his after [[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki]] gave the young Uchiha half of his power, though it is unknown what was the exact cause of him awakening thedōjutsu.

[[Itachi Uchiha]] gained the Mangekyō Sharingan byaiding his best friend, [[Shisui]],in killing himself.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 550, page 11</ref> With the Mangekyō Sharingan, Itachi was able to use at least three powerful techniques. With his "left Mangekyō" he could use [[Tsukuyomi]], an extremely powerful [[genjutsu]] that allowed him to distort the victim's perception of time, torturing their psyche for what seemed like days in a matter of seconds. With his "right Mangekyō" he could use [[Amaterasu]], a [[ninjutsu]] which creates virtually-inextinguishable black flames at the user's focal point that continue to burn until the target is reduced to ash. The last of these known techniques was [[Susanoo]], which allowed Itachi to summon a massive ethereal warrior. This entity fights on behalf of Itachi and shields him from most attacks. According to [[Zetsu]], when it is combined with the [[Yata Mirror]] and [[Sword of Totsuka]] it essentially made Itachi invincible. Itachi's Susanoo has three forms which it goes through: an incomplete skeletal form, a complete warrior-like form and a final form that resembles a [[Wikipedia:Yamabushi|yamabushi]].

Use of the Mangekyō Sharingan put a great strain on Itachi's body and would quickly deplete his chakra reserves to the point that after using it three times in a day, he deactivated his eyes to their normal state.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 148, page 7</ref> A [[Shapeshifting Technique|clone]] containing 30% of his chakra couldn't use it once. By the time he battled Sasuke, his sight had been reduced to a large blur, yet having resolved himself to dying at the hands of his brother, pushed past this limitation and used his Mangekyō Sharingan more than three times as well as other techniques. After being reincarnated by the [[Impure World Reincarnation]] technique, Itachi was able to use the Mangekyō Sharingan for extended periods of time without complaints of physical ailments, or deteriorating vision. Some time after his death, Sasuke eventually took Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan as his own, granting him an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

[[Kakashi Hatake]]'sMangekyō Sharingan awakened, after the trauma of killing [[Rin Nohara]] with his own hands.<ref name="chpt605"/> Despite its awakening, Kakashi only began to use the Mangekyō during Part II of the series, whether he knew he possessed it beforehand is unknown. Regardless, with this dōjutsu Kakashi can use a space–time ninjutsu known as [[Kamui]] to create a barrier and send a target to the [[other dimension]] and afterwards teleport them back in a new location. The barrier requires considerable effort to aim with precision, leaving Kakashi's chakra significantly drained; especially considering that Kakashi is a non-Uchiha. Initially, he could only handle two uses in a single day, left crippled for over a week from a third use,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 278, pages 6-7</ref> and had poor control at aiming it.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 276, page 10</ref> However, after much practice, he can now even control the size of it to only affect the target he chooses, and use precise aim to warp speeding targets.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 424, pages 16-17</ref> He can also use it twice in quick succession, without showing immediate chakra drain and fatigue, to counter [[Sasuke Uchiha]]'s [[Susanoo]] arrows.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 484, page 6</ref> By the time of the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], Kakashi became able to use it several more times in a single day, even with multiple other chakra-taxing techniques, and recover from an over-usage much quicker. His skill has grown to the point that he can use this technique on himself.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 608, pages 3-7</ref>

[[Kakashi Hatake]],while wielding the left Sharingan of Obito, awaked its Mangekyō form after the trauma of killing [[Rin Nohara]] with his own hands.<ref name="chpt605"/> Despite its awakening, Kakashi only began to use the Mangekyō during Part II of the series, making it unknown if he knew he possessed it beforehand. Regardless, with this dōjutsu Kakashi can use a space–time ninjutsu known as [[Kamui]] to create a barrier and transport a target either to or from the [[other dimension]]. The barrier requires considerable effort to aim with precision, leaving Kakashi's chakra significantly drained; especially considering that Kakashi is a non-Uchiha. Initially, he could only handle two uses in a single day, left crippled for over a week from a third use,<ref>Chapter 278, pages 6-7</ref> and had poor control at aiming it.<ref>Chapter 276, page 10</ref> However, later he could control the size of it to only affect the target he chooses, and use precise aim to warp speeding targets.<ref>Chapter 424, pages 16-17</ref> He can also use it twice in quick succession, without showing immediate chakra drain and fatigue.<ref>Chapter 484, page 6</ref> By the time of the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], Kakashi became able to use it several more times in a single day, even with multiple other chakra-taxing techniques, and recover from an over-usage much quicker. His skill grew to the point that he can use this technique on himself.<ref>Chapter 608, pages 3-7</ref>

[[Madara Uchiha]] later takes this eye from Kakashi in order to use it to warp into the other dimension to retrieve his remaining Rinnegan from Obito.<ref>Chapter 674, pages 15-17</ref> Later after Obito died, regaining both his true eyes beforehand, he transfers the powers of both Sharingan to Kakashi. This restored Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan but in both his own eyes, giving Kakashi both variations of Kamui, including its personal "intangibility", and the full strength of the eye set. This event also awakened [[Susanoo]], able to quickly manifest the stabilised "Complete Body" form.<ref>Chapter 688, page 17</ref> Kakashi also becomes able to use Kamui in unison with his other techniques, including producing [[Kamui Shuriken]] from Susanoo that warp whatever they strike and using [[Kamui Lightning Cutter]], a technique that increases his Lightning Cutter's penetrative force while making Kakashi invulnerable to any counterattacks. Once [[Kaguya Ōtsutsuki]] was defeated and Obito left for the [[Pure Land]], Kakashi lost the Sharingan and its powers permanently.

After witnessing [[Rin Nohara]] dying at Kakashi's hands, [[Obito Uchiha]] awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan.<ref name="chpt605"/> Asthetwoshare the same pairofeyes, Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan also allows him to use [[Kamui]], althoughhisversiondiffersfromthatof Kakashi's.WhereasKakashi'sversionworksontargetsfromadistance, Obito's version requires him to firstmakephysicalcontactwithatargetbesideshimselfandafterwards,hecanteleport the targetbackfromtheotherdimension. In addition, Obito's version gives him a form of "''intangibility''", brought about by him teleporting portions of his body for short periods of time to the other dimension in order to avoid damage or pass through obstacles. This also provides Obito immunity from Kakashi's Kamui being used directly against him since they both access the same dimensional space, though attacks being warped by Kamui to the other dimension can bypass Obito's intangibility.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 599, page 8</ref> He can also combine the spatial distortion of the Kamui with his [[Fire Release]] techniques to create a [[Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance|massive vortex of flames]].

+

After witnessing [[Rin Nohara]] dying at Kakashi's hands, [[Obito Uchiha]] awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan in his right eye simultaneously with Kakashi, who wielded Obito's left eye.<ref name="chpt605"/> Whilemanifestingin separate wielders, both eyesobtain the same Mangekyōdesignsas they are a matching set. Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan also allows him to use [[Kamui]], abletoteleporttargetstoits[[Kamui's Dimension|personaldimension]]andafterwardscanteleportthetargetback to thenormaldimension.Thisshort-rangeabilityhoweverfirstrequiresObitotomakephysicalcontact in the normaldimensionwithatargetbesides himself. In addition, Obito's right eye gives him a form of "''intangibility''", brought about by him teleporting portions of his body for short periods of time, no more than five minutes at a time, to the other dimension in order to avoid damage or pass through obstacles. This also provides Obito immunity from Kamui being used directly against him by another user since they both access the same dimensional space, though attacks being warped to the other dimension can bypass Obito's intangibility.<ref>Chapter 599, page 8</ref> He can also combine the spatial distortion of the Kamui with his [[Fire Release]] techniques to create a [[Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance|massive vortex of flames]].

+

+

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, while Black Zetsu took complete control of Obito's body, Madara implanted Obito's original left eye given to Kakashi back into Obito. After Black Zetsu separated from Obito, the Uchiha retained both his eyes. The said eye possesses a long-range variation of [[Kamui]], able to teleport targets within its line of sight. With both eyes working on the same target, the process works twice as fast. Also with Kamui, Obito is able to access other dimensions besides its own by synchronising with other space-time techniques. However, doing so requires much more chakra.

+

+

During the battle with [[Kaguya Ōtsutsuki]], when Kaguya [[All-Killing Ash Bones|fatally struck]] Obito and turned him to ash, his eyes crumbled along with him. After dying, however, not wanting his friend to die, Obito's spirit appears within Kakashi's subconscious, transferring to Kakashi his chakra and Sharingan powers. This grants Kakashi the power to manifest both of Obito's Sharingan in the jōnin's own eyes, which also allowed him to awaken [[Susanoo]].

At some point after manifesting his [[Rinnegan]] in both eyes, Madara secretly transplanted his own eyes into [[Nagato]]. After being [[Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique|resurrected]] during the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], a White Zetsu returned to Madara his right eye from Nagato's corpse. To regain his left eye, Madara stole Kakashi's Sharingan as a temporary replacement. Inheriting the power of [[Kamui]] from it, Madara is able to teleport targets to and from the [[other dimension]].<ref>Chapter 674, page 17</ref> Soon afterwards, Madara regained his true matching set of eyes.

[[Indra Ōtsutsuki]], Born with his father, [[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki]]'s, strong chakra and spiritual energy, Indra had his own dōjutsu, a derived form of his [[Kaguya Ōtsutsuki|grandmother]]'s which became known as the Sharingan. In addition to being the first to have this particular eye, he was also the first one to awaken the Mangekyō form of it and likewise to wield the devastating power of Susanoo. Much like his future descendants, Indra attained complete mastery over Susanoo, allowing him to manifest its stabilised "Complete Body" form that he could hover inside; protected from most dangers.<ref>Chapter 670, page 18</ref>

It has been implied that his skill with Amaterasu surpasses Itachi's, asheisable to use [[Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi]] with his "right Mangekyō" to apply [[Shape Transformation]] to the flames,aswellasextinguish them at will. Sasuke has displayed the ability to use [[Susanoo]], which he can even partially manifest to fit the situation, such as using a ribcage for defence or manifesting only an arm to interact with his surroundings. Sasuke's Susanoo develops in stages during various battles; he first starts using an incomplete version against the [[Fourth Raikage]], develops aversion capable of firing arrows while fighting with Danzō, and later forms a version almost identical to Itachi's during his battle with Kakashi. Sasuke's SusanooappearsmoredemonicthanItachi's.

During the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], Sasuke was able to stabilise Susanoo's chakratocreateits"CompleteBody" form.

−

Due to his high chakra reserves, Sasuke is able to use the Mangekyō Sharingan techniques more than threetimes a day. Sasuke can maintain Susanoo for extended periods of time, on top of using the Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi several times a day along with some other chakra-consuming techniques like the [[Chidori]].

Due to his high chakra reserves, Sasuke is able to use the Mangekyō Sharingan techniques more frequently than hisbrother.

Initially, Sasuke refused to transplant Itachi's eyes to restore his vision even when it was reduced to a heavy blur at best, claiming that his views were different from Itachi's. However, after meeting Naruto again and being shocked at his determination to save Sasuke from his darkness, Sasuke decided to take Itachi's eyes so that he could kill Naruto with his full strength. His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan takes the shape of his old Mangekyō Sharingan, but incorporates a straightened version of Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan design into its centre. With his new eyes, the final form of his Susanoo takes on a more ghastly shape.

==Mangekyō Sharingan Forms==

Unlikeother known individual Mangekyo Sharingan techniques, Shisui's left and right eye seem to have the exact abilities while other Mangekyo Sharingan pairs have abilities differing from minor details to being in a completely differentclassification.

As tension between the Uchiha and Konohagakure grew, determined to protect the village in his own way, Danzō realised that potential usage of Shisui's Sharingan and managed to steal the Uchiha's right eye. Upon implanting it into himself, Danzō obtained access to Shisui's [[Kotoamatsukami]], using it whenever the situation seemed necessary to manipulate people to suit his interest. Danzō also retained Shisui's ability to induce Sharingan-based genjutsu without eye-contact or exposing the eye. As the transplanted eye caused much more strain to the chakra reserves of a non-Uchiha like Danzō, the elderly ninja infused some of [[Hashirama Senju]]'s DNA into himself, drastically reducing the timespan between each usage of this technique. After the Five Kage Summit, as Danzō neared death from his battle against Sasuke, not wanting the enemy to wield Shisui's power, Danzō crushed the eye before dying.<ref>Chapter 482, page 13</ref>

Not wanting his younger brother to walk down such a dark path, Itachi programmed Shisui's eye to react Itachi's with the command to protect the village, knowing also that Sasuke would eventually transplant Itachi's eyes to escape the blinding side-effect from over-using his own Mangekyō Sharingan, storing the crow inside Naruto for his inevitable encounter with Sasuke. After this plan failed, having a change of heart for Sasuke's best interest and not wanting the enemy to obtain Shisui's eye, Itachi [[Amaterasu|incinerated]] the crow and dōjutsu.

The Mangekyō Sharingan (万華鏡写輪眼; Literally meaning "Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye"), noted to be the "heavenly eyes that see the truth of all of creation without obstruction" (天壌の理を掌握せし瞳, tenjō no kotowari wo shōaku seshi hitomi),[1] is an advanced form of the Sharingan that has only been activated by a handful of Uchiha.[2] It was also awakened by Kakashi Hatake — a non-Uchiha.[3]

Contents

The Mangekyō Sharingan is awakened by a Sharingan user when they suffer from trauma after witnessing the death of someone close to them. With the user normally having to witness or experience this first hand, Uchiha throughout history have killed those closest to them in order to expedite this process.[4]

It is distinguished from a normal Sharingan by its appearance, which changes the form of the tomoe seal. Unlike the Sharingan, the appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan differs from user to user with all known wielders of the dōjutsu having eyes that resemble variations of pinwheels.

Izuna and Madara after awakening their Mangekyō Sharingan.

The Mangekyō Sharingan can use enhanced versions of the Sharingan's generic abilities, such as casting genjutsu, and can also awaken different powerful techniques. Some wielders awaken the same technique in both of their eyes, such as Obito and Shisui Uchiha, whereas others awaken a different technique in each eye. Also, a Mangekyō Sharingan can transfer any of its techniques into another eye and/or set them to activate at certain times with pre-programmed actions, even after the user's death.[5] One can even transfer the entire essence and powers of the dōjutsu into another eye, manifesting itself in said eye.[6]

The Mangekyō Sharingan drains a considerable amount of chakra and strains both the user's eyes and body, a drawback which affects a non-Uchiha even more so. Use of the dōjutsu gradually deteriorates the user's eyesight to the point of blindness; a harsh fate for those that have grown accustomed to the power and visual acuity it affords.[7] Only by transplanting the eyes of another Uchiha can the user regain their sight and ocular powers. By transplanting the Mangekyō Sharingan of an Uchiha with strong blood ties to the recipient — ideally a sibling — an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan (永遠の万華鏡写輪眼, Eien no Mangekyō Sharingan) is then awakened.[8] This process takes several days for a complete recovery,[9][10] and not only permanently restores the recipient's eyesight, but also bolsters their own ocular power with that of the donor's, signified by the intertwined appearance of their Mangekyō Sharingan's tomoe seals. Due to the compatibility issues and the Mangekyō Sharingan's rarity, not everyone can gain these benefits by transplanting the eyes of just any Uchiha, which has been the cause of many fruitless sacrifices throughout the Uchiha clan's history.[11] Thus far, only Madara and Sasuke are known to have been successful in this endeavour. According to Madara, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and possibly the Mangekyō Sharingan as well, is proof an Uchiha has lost a lot but also proof they're looking for something.[12] One variation of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is a rare form known as the "Straight Tomoe" (直巴, Choku Tomoe), which seems to grant the user fluidity in their movements when fighting.[13]

Madara and Sasuke were able to evolve their Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan into the Rinnegan. Madara did so after implanting the DNA of Hashirama Senju into himself, though the dōjutsu only awakened years after the implant.[14] Sasuke awakened his after Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki gave the young Uchiha half of his power, though it is unknown what was the exact cause of him awakening the dōjutsu.

Itachi Uchiha gained the Mangekyō Sharingan after witnessing his best friend Shisui throw himself off a cliff.[15] With the Mangekyō Sharingan, Itachi was able to use at least three powerful techniques. With his "left Mangekyō" he could use Tsukuyomi, an extremely powerful genjutsu that allowed him to distort the victim's perception of time, torturing their psyche for what seemed like days in a matter of seconds. With his "right Mangekyō" he could use Amaterasu, a ninjutsu which creates virtually-inextinguishable black flames at the user's focal point that continue to burn until the target is reduced to ash. The last of these known techniques was Susanoo, which allowed Itachi to summon a massive ethereal warrior. This entity fights on behalf of Itachi and shields him from most attacks. According to Zetsu, when it is combined with the Yata Mirror and Sword of Totsuka it essentially made Itachi invincible. Itachi's Susanoo has three forms which it goes through: an incomplete skeletal form, a complete warrior-like form and a final form that resembles a yamabushi.

Use of the Mangekyō Sharingan put a great strain on Itachi's body and would quickly deplete his chakra reserves to the point that after using it three times in a day, he deactivated his eyes to their normal state.[16] A clone containing 30% of his chakra couldn't use it once. By the time he battled Sasuke, his sight had been reduced to a large blur, yet having resolved himself to dying at the hands of his brother, he pushed past this limitation and used his Mangekyō Sharingan more than three times as well as other techniques. After being reincarnated by the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Itachi was able to use the Mangekyō Sharingan for extended periods of time without complaints of physical ailments, or deteriorating vision. Some time after his death, Sasuke took Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan as his own, granting the former an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Kakashi Hatake, while wielding the left Sharingan of Obito, awaked its Mangekyō form after the trauma of killing Rin Nohara with his own hands.[3] Despite its awakening, Kakashi only began to use the Mangekyō during Part II of the series, making it unknown if he knew he possessed it beforehand. Regardless, with this dōjutsu Kakashi can use a space–time ninjutsu known as Kamui to create a barrier and transport a target either to or from the other dimension. The barrier requires considerable effort to aim with precision, leaving Kakashi's chakra significantly drained; especially considering that Kakashi is a non-Uchiha. Initially, he could only handle two uses in a single day, left crippled for over a week from a third use,[17] and had poor control at aiming it.[18] However, later he could control the size of it to only affect the target he chooses, and use precise aim to warp speeding targets.[19] He can also use it twice in quick succession, without showing immediate chakra drain and fatigue.[20] By the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kakashi became able to use it several more times in a single day, even with multiple other chakra-taxing techniques, and recover from an over-usage much quicker. His skill grew to the point that he can use this technique on himself.[21]

Madara Uchiha later takes this eye from Kakashi in order to use it to warp into the other dimension to retrieve his remaining Rinnegan from Obito.[22] Later after Obito died, regaining both his true eyes beforehand, he transfers the powers of both Sharingan to Kakashi. This restored Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan but in both his own eyes, giving Kakashi both variations of Kamui, including its personal "intangibility", and the full strength of the eye set. This event also awakened Susanoo, able to quickly manifest the stabilised "Complete Body" form.[23] Kakashi also becomes able to use Kamui in unison with his other techniques, including producing Kamui Shuriken from Susanoo that warp whatever they strike and using Kamui Lightning Cutter, a technique that increases his Lightning Cutter's penetrative force while making Kakashi invulnerable to any counterattacks. Once Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was defeated and Obito left for the Pure Land, Kakashi lost the Sharingan and its powers permanently.

After witnessing Rin Nohara dying at Kakashi's hands, Obito Uchiha awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan in his right eye simultaneously with Kakashi, who wielded Obito's left eye.[3] While manifesting in separate wielders, both eyes obtain the same Mangekyō designs as they are a matching set. Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan also allows him to use Kamui, able to teleport targets to its personal dimension and afterwards can teleport the target back to the normal dimension. This short-range ability however first requires Obito to make physical contact in the normal dimension with a target besides himself. In addition, Obito's right eye gives him a form of "intangibility", brought about by him teleporting portions of his body for short periods of time, no more than five minutes at a time, to the other dimension in order to avoid damage or pass through obstacles. This also provides Obito immunity from Kamui being used directly against him by another user since they both access the same dimensional space, though attacks being warped to the other dimension can bypass Obito's intangibility.[24] He can also combine the spatial distortion of the Kamui with his Fire Release techniques to create a massive vortex of flames.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, while Black Zetsu took complete control of Obito's body, Madara implanted Obito's original left eye given to Kakashi back into Obito. After Black Zetsu separated from Obito, the Uchiha retained both his eyes. The said eye possesses a long-range variation of Kamui, able to teleport targets within its line of sight. With both eyes working on the same target, the process works twice as fast. Also with Kamui, Obito is able to access other dimensions besides its own by synchronising with other space-time techniques. However, doing so requires much more chakra.

During the battle with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, when Kaguya fatally struck Obito and turned him to ash, his eyes crumbled along with him. After dying, however, not wanting his friend to die, Obito's spirit appears within Kakashi's subconscious, transferring to Kakashi his chakra and Sharingan powers. This grants Kakashi the power to manifest both of Obito's Sharingan in the jōnin's own eyes, which also allowed him to awaken Susanoo.

Madara Uchiha, along with his younger brother Izuna, were the first Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.[25] He eventually began to go blind from overusing it, and only by taking his younger brother's eyes did he regain his sight.[26][27] This also gave him an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan which granted him even greater power and no further fear of damage to his health or sight.[28] His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan looks like his original one, overlapping that of Izuna's.

Madara became one of the few to awaken Susanoo. Madara has multiple forms of Susanoo ranging from individual segments, a full-bodied form, and its stabilised "Complete Body" form that is gigantic and equal in power to that of a tailed beast.[29][30] He could also use his Susanoo to shape it into armour around the Nine-Tails to strengthen and protect it from Hashirama Senju's control.[31][32] Additionally, he can combine Susanoo's bladed weaponry with a Tailed Beast Ball for a more destructive product.[33]

At some point after manifesting his Rinnegan in both eyes, Madara secretly transplanted his own eyes into Nagato. After being resurrected during the Fourth Shinobi World War, a White Zetsu returned to Madara his right eye from Nagato's corpse. To regain his left eye, Madara stole Kakashi's Sharingan as a temporary replacement. Inheriting the power of Kamui from it, Madara is able to teleport targets to and from the other dimension.[34] Soon afterwards, Madara regained his true matching set of eyes.

Alongside his brother, Izuna Uchiha and Madara were the first two people in the clan to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.[25] Madara later took Izuna's eyes to regain his deteriorating vision.[26] At the last moments of his life, Izuna willingly gave up his eyes to Madara for the Uchiha clan's sake.[35][36][37] On the contrary, others believed in the untrue assertion that Madara selfishly took them by force.[26]

Indra Ōtsutsuki, Born with his father, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's, strong chakra and spiritual energy, Indra had his own dōjutsu, a derived form of his grandmother's which became known as the Sharingan. In addition to being the first to have this particular eye, he was also the first one to awaken the Mangekyō form of it and likewise to wield the devastating power of Susanoo. Much like his future descendants, Indra attained complete mastery over Susanoo, allowing him to manifest its stabilised "Complete Body" form that he could hover inside; protected from most dangers.[38]

Sasuke Uchiha awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan after learning the truth about his brother Itachi's selfless sacrifice; he was filled with grief from his brother's death and the role he played in it. The appearance of Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan is somewhat unique among those revealed thus far, which generally possess patterns centrifugally aligned along their pupils. His own spreads and converges along the edges of the irides, resulting in three intersecting ellipses that resemble an atom model.

With his "left eye" he can cast Amaterasu. It has been implied that his skill with these black flames surpasses Itachi's, as he is able to use Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi with his "right eye" to extinguish, or apply Shape Transformation to them at will. He has also shown a preference for his right eye when casting genjutsu, some powerful enough to break a target's will, and paralyse them.[39]Danzō Shimura stated that Sasuke's genjutsu is incapable of altering the victim's perception of time, and thus is vastly inferior to Itachi's Tsukuyomi.[40] After awakening the powers of both eyes, Sasuke became one of the rare few capable of invoking Susanoo. Sasuke's Susanoo develops in stages during various battles; he first starts using an incomplete version against the Fourth Raikage, develops its fully manifested form capable of firing arrows while fighting with Danzō, and later forms a version similar to Itachi's during his battle with Kakashi. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sasuke was able to stabilise Susanoo's chakra to create its "Complete Body" form.

Due to his high chakra reserves, Sasuke is able to use the Mangekyō Sharingan techniques more frequently than his brother. Sasuke can maintain Susanoo for extended periods of time, on top of using Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi several times a day along with other chakra-consuming techniques like the Chidori. Like with all other wielders, Sasuke's use of the Mangekyō Sharingan puts a great strain on Sasuke's body and eyes.

Initially, Sasuke refused to transplant Itachi's eyes to restore his vision, claiming that his views were different from Itachi's. However, after meeting Naruto again and being shocked at his determination to save Sasuke from his darkness, Sasuke decided to take Itachi's eyes so that he could kill Naruto with his full strength. His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan incorporates a straightened, reversed version of Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan design into the centre of his own. With his new eyes, the final form of his Susanoo takes on more ghastly features. According to Madara, the "straight tomoe" of the Mangekyō that he shares with Sasuke possesses superior movement reading capabilities, which led Madara to rule the eyes as fitting substitutes until his own eyes were returned to him.

Shisui Uchiha awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan at some point through unknown means. It granted him the ability to cast powerful genjutsu techniques, the most powerful of his genjutsu arsenal being Kotoamatsukami.[41] This technique allowed him to manipulate an opponent's thoughts completely without them having the slightest idea that they were being controlled. Furthermore, this technique can be used without eye contact or even the need to uncover the eye if concealed.[42] The only drawback of using that technique was the fact that it couldn't be used again in a single eye until after a period of time.[43] In the anime, Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan also had the ability to manifest Susanoo. He could produce its fully manifested form.[44]

Shisui's eyes had such highly coveted genjutsu prowess that his right eye was stolen by Danzō Shimura while he was still alive,[45] and in the anime attempted to steal the left eye as well. Shisui entrusted his left eye to Itachi Uchiha and told him to protect the village and the clan's name;[45] Shisui then made it appear as though he had crushed his own eyes in order to prevent a feud over them and erased his existence, though it was thought that he was drowned by Itachi in the Naka River.[46]

Unlike other known individual Mangekyo Sharingan techniques, Shisui's left and right eye seem to have the exact abilities while other Mangekyo Sharingan pairs have abilities differing from minor details to being in a completely different classification.

As tension between the Uchiha and Konohagakure grew, determined to protect the village in his own way, Danzō realised that potential usage of Shisui's Sharingan and managed to steal the Uchiha's right eye. Upon implanting it into himself, Danzō obtained access to Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, using it whenever the situation seemed necessary to manipulate people to suit his interest. Danzō also retained Shisui's ability to induce Sharingan-based genjutsu without eye-contact or exposing the eye. As the transplanted eye caused much more strain to the chakra reserves of a non-Uchiha like Danzō, the elderly ninja infused some of Hashirama Senju's DNA into himself, drastically reducing the timespan between each usage of this technique. After the Five Kage Summit, as Danzō neared death from his battle against Sasuke, not wanting the enemy to wield Shisui's power, Danzō crushed the eye before dying.[47]

After Shisui entrusted his left eye to his best friend, Itachi implanted it into a crow.[48] Unlike other Sharingan-wielders, this crow appeared unable to personally control its power, instead having Itachi program the Sharingan to activate in certain situations and unleash a pre-set command with Kotoamatsukami. Itachi anticipated Sasuke's potential desire to destroy Konohagakure should he learn the truth of the Uchiha Clan Downfall. Not wanting his younger brother to walk down such a dark path, Itachi programmed Shisui's eye to react Itachi's with the command to protect the village, knowing also that Sasuke would eventually transplant Itachi's eyes to escape the blinding side-effect from over-using his own Mangekyō Sharingan, storing the crow inside Naruto for his inevitable encounter with Sasuke. After this plan failed, having a change of heart for Sasuke's best interest and not wanting the enemy to obtain Shisui's eye, Itachi incinerated the crow and dōjutsu.

In the Fourth Shinobi World War, Madara, who had previously stolen Kakashi's Sharingan, implanted Obito's left eye into its original owner, who Black Zetsu merged with and had complete control over. With the power of both eyes and their respective variations of Kamui, Black Zetsu is able to teleport targets to and from the other dimension.[49] After separating from Obito, Black Zetsu left the eyes with Obito.

Originally in the anime, Itachi Uchiha was shown using techniques exclusive to the Mangekyō Sharingan without having it active.[50] This is because Kishimoto had not revealed the appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan in the manga yet. A true form of the Mangekyō Sharingan was first seen, from Itachi, while Sasuke remembered the events leading to the Uchiha Clan Downfall as he fought with Naruto Uzumaki at the Valley of the End.[51]

In the anime, in the fight against A, the internal intersection lines of Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan are replaced by a circle.[52]

In the anime, when Kakashi used his Mangekyō Sharingan to warp away Sasuke's Susanoo's arrows, the black and red colours became inverted.[53]

The manners in which an individual gains the Mangekyō Sharingan are almost parallel to how an Uchiha awakens their regular Sharingan for the first time, since both need intense emotions to awaken them.

For uncertain reasons, Obito Uchiha showed no signs of deteriorating eyesight, despite his very regular use of Kamui.

According to Madara, only he and Sasuke awakened the "Straight Tomoe" variant of the Mangekyō Sharingan.[54] They are both Indra's reincarnations, were the only ones who gained the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and were able to awaken the Rinnegan as well. So far, only they have shown the ability to applyShape Transformation to their Susanoo.[55][56]
